La Chaise

$355.00

Quantity

Created by Charles and Ray Eames as an entry for the "Low Cost Furniture Design" competition held by the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1948, the La Chaise consists of two paper thin fiberglass shells glued to each other, but separated with rubber discs and filled with polystyrene foam.

While the open space between the back and the seat is not technically necessary, the Eames' wanted a design element that would emphasize the chair's light weight visually.

Founded in 1950, Vitra has manufactured the furniture designs by George Nelson and Charles & Ray Eames since 1957 while expanding to develop a wide range of progressive home, office and public space furnishings. More than just a design-oriented producer, the Vitra Design Museum retains a collection of iconic modern furniture & miniatures from designers such as Verner Panton, Frank Gehry, Jean Prouvé, Max Bill, & Isamu Noguchi.
